Wuhan virus -
Headline on Israel news - “The 17% Unvaccinated Make Up 60% of Deaths This Week” What they don’t clearly say is that 40% of deaths were from vaccinated.

New research from George Washington University has determined that treating COVID patients with aspirin reduced the risk of severe illness by nearly half.
The report noted that an aspirin regimen in more than 400 COVID-19 patients in hospitals across the United States cut the need for ventilation by 44%, slashed ICU admission by 43%, and reduced overall in-hospital mortality rates by 47%.
A related research study came to a similar conclusion -

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Monday prohibiting COVID-19 vaccine mandates by any “entity,” including employers, if someone objects to the vaccine for “any reason of personal conscience.”

Yellen admitted this weekend the reason behind the global tax - “This is really something we need to make globalization work.”

Economy -
More coal shortage woes. 80% of India’s 135 coal-powered plants had less than 8 days of supplies left — more than half of those had stocks worth two days or fewer. Coal accounts for around 70% of India’s electricity generation. By comparison, over the last four years, the average coal inventory that power plants had was around 18 days worth of supply.
OBSERVATION - Shutdown of power yields shut down of factories and those effects will ripple across the region and the world. Demand for coal is causing prices to skyrocket.

With transportation / supply distribution in a total tails spin, increasing attention is coming to bear on Transportation Scty Buttigieg. Two months ago biden said they would get the situation under control. Buttigieg is his point man to get it done. “The supply chain disruption is a crisis,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted on Monday. “This will impact every American, especially those who can least afford it. It’s past time for President Biden and Pete Buttigieg to explain what they’re doing about this.”
Industry analysts indicate that on just the container ship side of the house, the log jams will continue into 2023.
Also of note - increasing emphasis on purchasing for Christmas now as the supply logjam is expected to mean empty shelves during the Christmas season.

House passed and biden signed the budget ceiling delay.

Biden watch -
Biden administration continues to buy Chinese drones for federal law enforcement, in the face of national security concerns. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday ““Like so much that Biden administration has done on national security lately, this makes very little sense,” Ratcliffe said. “It’s harmful to our national security. And also, Chinese drone technology is not as good as U.S. drone technology. So it’s hard to make sense out of what’s doing this, other than it is consistent with the Biden administration taking a softer approach, trying to promote a false narrative that somehow China is a competitor and not an adversary.””

BLM/Antifa activity remains at a low level, lacking a unifying event like 2020 to drive violence.

CYBER/CANCEL CULTURE FRONT -
German court rules suspension of YouTube channel, created by artists and actors who criticized the COVID19 restrictions of the government, is unlawful.
NOTE - not enforceable in the US but is a potential development of a global trend.

Domestic Terror -
AQ has put out a video threatening the US with attacks “more painful than 9/11”.
OBSERVATION - IMHO I don’t think AQ is in a position yet to pull this off on the scale threatened, but does have the capability to conduct smaller scale operations.

Some observers are watching closely to see if radical environmental groups followthrough with threats to sabotage national transportation hubs to further its war to impose green agenda items. This has resulted the past in with attempted and successful train derailments in Washington state. Targets being discussed include pipelines and “choke points for the U.S. economy” — namely major ports and transportation hubs which could be shut down through activism. Purpose would be to demonstrate - in their minds -the failure of capitalism to address the needs of the country and world.

Cyber Warfare -
The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) announced on Monday that Iranian hackers successfully targeted US and Israeli defense technology companies.
More than 250 Microsoft Office 365 accounts linked to the US, EU and the Israeli government were hacked into through extensive password spraying.
In addition, Persian Gulf ports of entry and global maritime transportation companies with business presence in the Middle East were also targeted.

China -
China’s military said on Monday it had carried out beach landing and assault drills in the province directly across the sea from Taiwan, though it did not link the exercises to current tensions with Taipei. The drills appeared to involve a small number of troops.
The weather was clear and the seas were calm - suggesting the drill did not happen on Monday as southern Fujian is currently being affected by a tropical storm passing between Taiwan and the Philippines.

North Korea -
Kim is vowing to create an ‘invincible’ army. He also called for officials to focus on improving citizens’ lives in the face of a “grim” economic situation, state media reported on Monday, as he marked the anniversary of the country’s ruling party.

Iran -
Iranian state television is claiming that its navy chased a US fleet in the Persian Gulf. Video footage showing Revolutionary Guards cheering as they tailgated the American vessels, was released by the ICRG. The US vessel in the clip is a Riverine Command Boat, a 52ft quick military assault seacraft that is often deployed in the Strait. No comment from the Navy at this time.

Misc of Note - Going Galt?
SW Airlines follow up. Monday there were nearly 400 cancelations. As I type, only 89 cancellations have been reported. Evidence is strong, this was a sickout warning to the airline. Gov Abbott’s of Texas may have provided cover with his executive order forbidding job firings on the basis of vaccination. SW is under the mandate for Defense contractors to be fully vaccinated and not the news release ‘mandate’ against 100+ sized businesses.

More federal pushback? The deadline for federal employees at the Veterans Administration to provide proof of vaccination was Friday. As it turns out, there are still more than 45,000 VA workers who have not provided a CDC card or other proof of vaccination.

Another sickout appears to have hit Washington state. Friday, Washington State Ferries saw more cancelations than they usually see in an entire year, according to officials. Staff with WSF say there were 157 sailing cancelations on Friday. On average, there are about four cancelations per month. A spokesman for the state ferry service tried to avoid the issue of wuhan virus jab mandates by blaiming other personnel issues.
